This is great! Can't wait to see it in full. Any idea of the release? Not to rush or anything :)

It hard to say when the site will be launched as it's going to take some time to compile all the lift stats into the new database and redo all the lift photos. However, before the new site is launched, I want it to be 'close' to all the offerings of the current site. So if you want to look at pictures of the lifts at Vail, the new site is going to have those up at launch date than having to wait for them to be put back up.

The plan is also to integrate the site and forum together, so you will only need to have 1 user account. This will allow users special access to areas on the website that won't be available to others depending on your Industry Level.

If any of you have some spare time and would like to help work on the new site, I have setup a Google Docs spreadsheet for helping identifying the names of lifts currently N/A in our Lift Installation Surveys.

There is now a PayPal donate button which is pretty slick (slides down when the mouse cursor hovers over it), along with a few CSS changes. I may add a few social networking icons at the bottom above the Email: submit@skilifts.org.

I have continued to focus on resizing all the photos for the new site in my spare time. However, since I have taken the liberty to run a local non-profit, It's put me behind schedule more than I would like to be.

On a side note, I will be resigning from Willamette Pass Resort at the of this week and this may allow me to make some substantial progress in the coming months.
